The fist session at Drive 11 was absolutely fantastic. I
always think they aren’t going to be able to ever top this next year, but once
again they have proved me wrong!! Tonight was an amazing worship experience as
well as a time where Andy really reminded us of how the local church matters
and how we what we do is so important.

The first session at Drive is usually one where they allow
church leaders the opportunity to just worship and be a part of an experience
rather than lead one.

Andy talked about how Christian morals have shaped more of
our culture than we can possibly imagine. To be honest the talk is such that it
would be really hard to fully break down in a blog. But I am going to give you
my notes any way and let you process through what struck me.

Jesus let us know that the last thing that he wanted us to
know is that the way people will know who we are is by the way we love. The
early church literally brought the end of the Roman Empire with the way the
loved the people around us.

The Bottom Line was we are stewards of the message of
eternal life and the message of a better life. Living a life of love is counter
intuitive and when we do we are embracing a better life. We have the message
that empowers people to live a better life now.

My addicition doesnt define me. Its a disease that I live with, but i will always be more than just an addiction. I fight every day to put the pieces back together. Thank you for taking part in my journey. You are not alone!
